The Theran Mystique - Volume 1, Issue 7
Interview with Rhastam:

You tell Rhastam 'Mind if I ask you a few questions?'
Rhastam tells you 'Shore.'

You tell Rhastam 'Right then. In your opinion, was the recent disbandment of Legion on the whole, due to failures by just a select few, or was every member equally incompetent?'

Rhastam tells you 'I would say a select few.'

You tell Rhastam 'Right then. So if that was the case, why do you think Resatimm disbanded the whole group, instead of just those select few?'

Rhastam tells you 'You will have to ask Resatimm, but history shows that that is his method of operation. When a few at the top continually screw up, it is time to cut losses and clear house.'

You tell Rhastam 'Ah, so he find incompetence is like a contagion, and tries to contain it by cutting off the whole arm? That makes sense, avians are always paranoid about diseases, even after becoming higher powers.'

Rhastam tells you 'Last time I looked, Lord Resatimm was not Avian.' You tell Rhastam 'Oh? Sources told me that he was such before rising to the heavens. I'll have to re-verify those.'

Rhastam tells you 'He was, but when one changes to the undead, all traits of their former race are gone.'

You tell Rhastam 'Intriguing, very intriguing. So, back to the topic of contagions, before the current batch of Legion was disbanded, do you remember drinking from the fountain in the cabal? There may have been a sickly green glow emanating from it...'

Rhastam tells you 'I drank from it regularly. It was not a fountain, it was a mage cast magical spring. Our undead cleric made one for us every time it dried up.'

You tell Rhastam 'Of course, of course, but do you remember any specific instances where the water had a green tinge to it? Perhaps you drank from it, and felt horribly sick afterwards?'

Rhastam tells you 'Never.'

You tell Rhastam 'I see, well, that'll be the last time I buy my ingredients from a shady duergar with only one hand. So, now that you've been removed from Legion, what are your plans? Ever considered serving under a gnome in his conquest for world domination?'

Rhastam tells you 'Serving under a gnome? Do I get to use him as catapult ammunition?'

You tell Rhastam 'You own a catapult? Have you ever considered donating it to a great cause? Because we're in high demand for siege weapons, the Knights castle being so fortified as it is...'

Rhastam tells you 'Bah, I can take the Knight Fortress with an army of three zombies.'

You tell Rhastam 'But that's not thinking like a General! A catapult could do much more damage from a safe range. A truly successful campaign takes little toll on ones resources, such as animated corpses.'

Rhastam tells you 'I like 'hands on''

Rhastam tells you 'Now, allow me to ask you a question?'

You tell Rhastam 'One can always ask of me a question! But if it's too vital of information, the answer may not be forthcoming.....'

Rhastam tells you 'I have heard rumours of Knights galore having this reputation or that with the populace of Thera. Considering that the Heralds are the ones who mark the Knights thusly, what does a non-Knight have to'

Rhastam tells you 'do to gain a reputation? Kill Heralds?'

You tell Rhastam 'Well, one would think that might gain you the reputation of "feared", but from what I can gather, you'd most likely not get any reputation of any sort, out of spite from those who you killed.'

You tell Rhastam 'Mind you, serving a gnome faithfully might get you places in the regard of reputation.'

Rhastam tells you 'Ha.'
You tell Rhastam 'Think about it! It's a good offer!'

Rhastam tells you 'It is not as if I care, I was just curious, seeing as though the rumours claim almost every Knight had one or two reputations.'

You tell Rhastam 'It's quite possible. We reward those who help us.' Rhastam tells you 'So, basically you bribe them with your Herald Skill?'

You tell Rhastam 'Well, I'd personally reward them with cookies and milk, seeing as it's more cost effective and less of a investment.'

Rhastam tells you 'Ha.'
